9 different fraternities lay claim to being largest

Using the list of chapters from the recruitment threads you can figure it out.
Top 3 NPC sororities with the most original chapters open (excludes recharters) is:

1. Kappa Kappa Gamma - 81%
2. Chi Omega - 75%
3. Delta Gamma - 72%

Wow, thanks for the number crunching, that's actually very interesting info!

Did you factor in (or rather out) the chapters of groups that were at schools that either ceased to be completely, or got rid of their Greek systems or national groups?

Sometimes chapters close for reasons that are absolutely beyond a GLO's control.

Technically, there'd be a separate category for chapters shuttered in order to join the NPC, too. Even so, I imagine this is fairly accurate.

No I did not take that into account as I don't know which campuses those were. I figure since this probably did not happen too often. If a school closed it would affect all the GLOs on that campus, not just one. Also excluding those few chapters would not change the percentage very much.

It is more than you think, and only affects the GLOs there. I can tell you that many of KKG's closed chapters are at institutions that ceased to recognize Greek Life, or the institution ceased to exist. Many KKG/KAT closures happened before other sororities were even founded.

If you happened to know which campuses this happened at I will update the numbers. I took the information from the recruitment threads and it does not state why the chapter closed, only that it closed.

But that thread only includes schools where recruitment happens now, right? So it doesn't include any schools that banned Greek life (resulting in closed chapters) or chapters that closed at schools where Greek life was later banned before 2000 or so, right?

Not sure how accurate this is, but I like the company we keep!

I don't recall the name of the thread, but once we were asked to name the NPC group we respected most, other than our own. I believe I chose Kappa Kappa Gamma!

Why is it that 99% of your posts come off as completely arrogant?

It's arrogant that I respect Kappa? Okay.

99% of my 5,000+ posts. Really?

I knew once those stats were posted you'd be in here crowing.

Listen, Kappa is great. So is Chi O, and Delta Gamma. As are the other 24 NPC sororities. As are countless sororities from other councils or no council. The issue isn't that you like Kappa, it's that you're arrogant, and it seeps out of many of your posts like puss from a wound.

Would you have "liked the company" you keep had it been Zeta Tau Alpha? What about Gamma Phi Beta? What about Alpha Delta Pi? What about Alpha Omicron Pi? What about Sigma Delta Tau? What does it mean to "like the company?"

I remember seeing you complain about how people are mean or dismissive toward your posts. This is why.

I think the point is that there's no perfect metric. Nor would it necessarily skew one way or the other, but it's a lot more difficult to filter through those posts for schools that banned Greek Life (and determining whether those chapters closed prior to the banning or at the banning) than it is to run a strict %. If you want to, go ahead.

Because she is, as far as anyone can tell.

And yes, 99% of your 5,000+ posts are arrogant is hyperbolically accurate, but still accurate.
